All Aboard! The Jenkins, Kentucky Railroad Pulls Into History


While this article flips back and forward between Sandy Valley & Elkhorn Railroad to the Shelby Valley & Elkhorn Railroad because of the articles that the information came from.   The stock was sold under the name of Sandy Valley & Elkhorn Railway Company.  

On July 7, 1911, that the cost of the Sandy Valley & Elkhorn Railroad (SV&E) was estimated to cost $60,000 per mile. This railroad would be part of Consolidation Coal Company and they paid for the cost, survey, design, and construction. Upon completion of the project, the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) railroad would purchase the line from Consolidation Coal company at cost plus interest.

The construction would include twenty-eight bridges and two tunnels. The bridges, made of single span steel girders, would vary in length between 14 to 100 feet. The two tunnels were drilled through sand rock. Each tunnel was 18 by 21 feet in dimensions, but one tunnel would be 700 feet long and the other 230 feet long.
